Yes, it is possible to create a blog in Webflow where each article opens as a pop-up that covers the whole page, with a URL that changes when the pop-up opens. This can be achieved using Webflow's powerful interaction capabilities and the CMS (Content Management System) functionality. Here's how you can do it:
Create a Collection: First, create a Collection in Webflow to hold your blog articles. Each blog post will be a Collection item with its own fields such as title, content, date, etc.
Design the Blog Page: Design your main blog page using Webflow's Designer tool. This page will list all your blog articles with a "Read More" button for each article.
Set Up the Pop-up: Design a separate pop-up layout using a modal component or a hidden element. This layout should cover the whole page and contain the necessary fields to display the full blog article. You can use interactions to make it appear as a pop-up.
Create Dynamic Links: Add a dynamic link to the "Read More" button on the blog page. Make sure to point it to the pop-up layout and pass the necessary parameters like the blog post's slug or unique identifier.
Configure the Interactions: Using interactions, trigger the pop-up to show when the user clicks on the "Read More" button. You can animate the pop-up's appearance using Webflow's built-in animation tools.
Update the URL: To change the URL when the pop-up opens, use Webflow's URL Rewriting feature. When the pop-up is triggered, you can update the URL using JavaScript or Webflow's custom code functionality to reflect the specific blog post being displayed.
By following these steps, you can create a blog in Webflow where each article opens as a pop-up that covers the whole page, with a URL that changes when the pop-up opens. This approach allows for an immersive reading experience while maintaining proper URL structure for search engine optimization.
